Jax Beer Week 2016

Jax Beer Week is finally upon us and there’s nothing left to do but enjoy the hell out of it.

A little history . . .

While Jax Beer Week may be young in roots, it's roots are deep in the community. Jacksonville is home to 8 breweries and that number only continues to grow. These breweries do more than produce really good beer, they also positively affect the Jacksonville community. It only seems fitting we'd celebrate the Jacksonville craft beer scene for an entire week. Big shout out to Jax Beer Society for bringing this to reality.

THE FULL WEEK'S EVENT SCHEDULE:

Complete calendar below the full post.
